> The "Replica Placement: The First Baby Steps" section of HDFS architecture document states:
> "...
> For the common case, when the replication factor is three, HDFS's placement policy is
to put one replica on one node in the local rack, another on a different node in the local
rack, and the last on a different node in a different rack. This policy cuts the inter-rack
write traffic which generally improves write performance.
> ..."
> However, according to the ReplicationTargetChooser.chooseTarger()'s code the actual logic
is to put the second replica on a different rack as well as the third replica. So you have
two replicas located on a different nodes of remote rack and one (initial replica) on the
local rack's node. Thus, the sentence should say something like this:
> "For the common case, when the replication factor is three, HDFS's placement policy is
to put one replica on one node in the local rack, another on a node in a different (remote)
rack, and the last on a different node in the same remote rack. This policy cuts the inter-rack
write traffic which generally improves write performance."
